Kurtis' Birthday!

Kurtis turned 7 and we had a small gathering to celebrate his birthday!!  He was just a happy happy child!  We love him so much and are so thankful to have him in our family. 

Trip to VA....

We had a ton of fun traveling to visit our family in Virginia!  It was cold but no there was no snow!

We read a lot of books!

 We played pirates with the wrapping paper ends.

 We went and saw the nutcracker!!

 We played outside with cousins!

 We delivered Santa's letters to Macy's!

 Sarah got her face decorated by both Aunts.

 Kurtis stirred the stew!  Which was the best this year!!

 We had dance parties with glow sticks from Aunt Katie!

 We did the nativity scene.

 And had Christmas PJ's that matched!

 GG got some Star Trek memorabilia!!  

 and Kurtis lost ANOTHER tooth!

I don't have photos from other things we did with the family like going to Karen and Kenny's for the Gholson Get Together, or other activities at Nanny's but we loved seeing and being with all of our family!!  The children got everything their heart desired and more, thank you to everyone, we love you and miss you already!!

The start of the Holidays!!!

We started the Holidays with going to The Grove to see Santa Claus, we had Sarah's ballet recital, Kurtis' school Winter Program, and we went to the temple lights!!  We even had carolers come and carol to us...it really started the holidays off right.  We had fun with lots of friends and family and enjoyed time staring the holidays!!

Trip to the spaceship and little critter

Kurtis lost another tooth.

Sarah took a trip to the Endeavor at the California Science Center with her pre-school class.  It was a lot of fun and we enjoyed playing in some of the other exploring rooms with our friends.

We also visited a friend who has a Chin Chi la (sorry if spelling is incorrect...), the kids LOVED it!!! 

Soccer for the little man....

Kurtis played soccer again this season.  There were a lot of returning players from seasons past and the same coaches.  He learned a lot and seemed to really improve as the season went on.  We are very happy that this goofy little boy has found a great outlet for his energy!!

He was the coin toss captain once!

Sarah even got into it!!

Halloween

For Halloween this year Sarah dressed up as "the Brave Princess" Merida and Kurtis dressed up as a Mad Scientist.  They loved both of their costumes and we had lots of parties to wear them too.  We had fun with good friends, got too much candy, and went to bed early on Halloween night.  It was a great Halloween!!!
